Better Error Handling and Logging

Summary

Better error handling (less exceptions, more error codes) and logging (for more detailed error handling and configuration issues).

Issue: https://gitlab.indiscale.com/caosdb/customers/lfpb/management/-/issues/390

See also the tests in caosdb-cppinttest!2 (merged)

Focus

• The TransactionStatus class represents the current status of a Transaction instance.
• The TransactionCode is a numeric representation of the status and intended for c-compatible error handling.
• Messages and Message classes handle the errors, warnings and info messages that come from the server.
• Logging: The logging can be configured via a json file. Otherwise the default configuration is in place.
• A lot of code was moved in order to comply with -pedantic flag. Don't waste your time

Test Environment

Unit tests should run as described in README_SETUP

Integration tests should run against a linkahead in the f-grpc branch
